Thanks Craig Andera for real

I was just peeking around for a particular windows need. 

Copy NTUSER.dat file, due possible windows corruption recently...no clue from where. Many articles seems dated in the last 2 months about this "user profile management service failure"...

But we know, is microsoft, so is all normal.

I just wanted to copy that file, due personal lazyness while running windows, for backup and later experimental purposes. 

And went trought all the old posts on the internet, about something called hobocopy. A possible saviour of the day right?

Started the journey, found the pages and migration on github:

and then the ending support to it,

and then the new shadowspawn version,

and then the end of support of it too,

and then the git lost repos, 

Found a possible tool claiming to do the copy while in use, which is payed software and you know the deal...pay 40bucks for a possible useless file copy???

After persisting in the research, i managed to get here... out of the research of just 1 hr, i landed on the google groups, where i was able to find the working link to wayback machine cached files.

Just here, to say thanks mate, it is still working and made my search worthy to know such a tool, and is proof that passion can be always ahead times. Win 10 here, and worked like a charm. 

A piece of software of almost 20 years ago that u built.

And i still see ur kindness answering here, now and then. 

I wish more people like yours, who build gems with the improving of user experience and needs in mind and not the money, exixts. 

Again, thanks.

Oh, hey, glad it worked for you! And thanks for writing: it's nice to
hear that something I did so long ago still helps someone out once in
a while.
